359 XIAO TIANYAO's PAS

Senja moved slightly and laid on her right side, so she could see him closely. "Because I am special…?" She blurted out but her statement more like a question, even in her ears.

Actually, Senja didn't know how to talk with children, she wasn't a person who would be excited enough when the moment she saw one. After all, she was always been a baby girl in her home back then, with three older brothers who would pamper her every time.

Xiao Mugi tilted his head, inquiring. "I don't see why you are special."

"I am special because I have a purple hair." Senja insisted.

"Your answer doesn't make sense."

The corner of Senja's lips twitched. **He is indeed Tianyao's son.**

"Well, since you are recuperating now, I will not disturb you. Take a rest." He jumped down from the edge of her bed and walked out from the room with his short leg.

**Is he really a six years old kid? Why he talked like an adult…**

But when he was about to open the door, the handle was higher than his short arms could reach it.

"Who closed the door? I left it slightly open before." He grumbled to himself.

"Need help?" Senja amused.

As for now, Xiao Mugi was pushing a chair so he could reach the handle of the door. "No need. I can do by myself." He waved his stubby hand at Senja. "I am a big guy now."

Senja chuckled upon hearing Xiao Mugi last statement while he was standing on the top of the chair and was about to open the door when he heard Senja's soft laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" His black eyes fixed on Senja. The same agitated eyes that Xiao Tianyao had.

Senja slightly have a feeling that Xiao Tianyao was glaring at her. "Well, you are only six, so I think you are still a child, not yet a big guy."

Xiao Mugi wasn't very happy with Senja careless reason. He folded his stubby arms in front of his chest as he huffed in annoyance. "I don't like you." He spoke firmly, but couldn't conceal his child like voice.

After he said that, he opened the door and jumped outside from the room.

Senja was giggling when she heard he slightly offended. "He is too prideful for a child."

.....

The days after, Senja still didn't allow to leaving her bed, because of the poison she needed to drink a medicine which taste like a bile, three times a day.

The taste alone almost choked her to death and she needed to take the drink at least until two weeks onward. It was only the seventh day, but Senja felt like wanted to throw away that medicine, yet Qianru always said if Senja didn't drink the antidote, she would suffer even worse.

The wounded on Senja's shoulder had became better, they only needed to change her bandage twice a day. Her lacerated wound also has been closing leaving only a red dot on her shoulder.

"Your wound will leave a scar." Qianru sighed when she was changing her bandage. She looked over at Senja, but the girl seemed didn't care much about it.

"Well, I am grateful enough to be alive." She said lightly.

Qianru smiled and absentmindedly touch Senja's purple hair. "You have unique color of hair."

"I am very aware about that." She glanced at her curly hair that cascading on her shoulder and covered her bare chest while Qianru was tending her wound.

"Okay, it's done." Qianru smiled at her. "You can put on your robe now, don't until you caught a cold."

"Thank you." Senja said her gratitude and continued. "I feel better now, can I walk outside the room. It feels so stifle here."

"Sure," She smiled brightly, but when she spoke again, her voice laced with concerned. "Do you want to go to Elder Dam's grave?"

After she was crying her heart out that day on Qianru, Senja had been avoiding talking about Elder Dam, seemingly she was pretending nothing had happened on him or the old man was someone that didn't exist in the first place.

Every people has their own way to get rid of their sorrow and Senja chose that way to make her feel better.

"I want to see Uncle Su." Senja answered without gave a thought of her previous question.

"Uncle Su is very rare to be seen here, but maybe you can ask Prince Qi Xunyi." Qianru informed her.

"Prince?" Senja raised her brows in questioning look while wrapping her robe around her body and tied the belt on her waist. "I don't know if he is a Prince."

"Yes, that was his rightful title."

"That was?" Senja got off from her bed. "Which Kingdom does he belong?"

"Xinghe's Kingdom." Qianru replied. "He is the last heir from the royal family of the Kingdom of Xinghe who has survived."

Senja snapped her head toward Qianru. This beautiful woman seemed knew a lot of things. The fact that she was Xiao Jun's wife didn't mean she would know everything, right? Xiao Jun didn't look like a person that would discuss everything with his wife, did he?

Or, maybe Senja could try something. Since the last time she was talking with Xiao Jun face to face wasn't in good situation. So, probably Qianru could answer her question.

"Can you tell me, what happened with the Kingdom of Xinghe?" Senja was still very curious about the fact that Xiao Tianyao didn't remember Qi Xunyi and also there was a matter about the fact that Hu Feng was a refugee from Xinghe.

Qianru tilted her head and briefly assessed Senja's expression. She was thinking whether she needed to tell Senja or not.

"I know Xinghe's Emperor was accused by murdered Xiao Tianyao's parent, the Kingdom of Azura's Emperor and Empress at that time, while the truth The Emperor Xiao Zi was behind all of this." Senja probed her, seeing that Qianru was hesitated to tell her the truth.

Qianru gasped, her round eyes widened, but a soft smiled appeared on her lips afterward. "Yes, that's true." She was nodding in her agreement. "So, what else you wanted to know?"

Senja wasn't someone who liked to beat around the bush, so she let out her curiosity. "If Xiao Tianyao is the one who take down the Kingdom of Xinghe, then why is Qi Xunyi as the prince of Xinghe owed him his life?"

Qianru made a hum tone, while biting her forefinger, deep in thought. "It is quite complicated story, maybe you can asked Xiao Tianyao about the detail." She suggested.

Of course Senja would ask him the moment she saw him, but what the used of ask him if he himself didn't remember anything from the event.

"He didn't remember anything about that, he even didn't remember Qi Xunyi at all." Senja shook her head.

"I see…" Qianru contemplated again. "… He acted a little bit strange when he was still with Luna."

Walking toward Qianru, Senja sat on the coach while looking at her, waiting for other information. When Luna didn't say anything, she added. "I know Luna is a mind controller."

Qianru gasped and looked at Senja intently. "How you know that?" She asked gingerly. It was only Xiao Jun and a handful trusted people that knew the truth about this.

Feeling Qianru's confusion, Senja shrugged her shoulder. "Xiao Jun told me about that…"

Qianru starting to bite her bottom lips in her hesitation. "If Jun told you all about that, why didn't you ask him?"

**Geez, both Xiao Jun and Qianru aren't easy to deal with…** Senja grumbled. Her question made sense after all.

"Well…" Senja drawled. "… I don't have time to discuss about that matter, like you know already that Xiao Jun doesn't want Xiao Tianyao to hear about that and unfortunately he was always around."

That reason wasn't all lie after all, in some point it was true.

"Hmm, it will be better if you don't mention Luna in front of Xiao Tianyao, because it's like a trigger for him." Qianru stated. "He will be furious, if he tries to remember her."

Senja knew there was something amiss about this. "Since when did Xiao Tianyao develop such behavior?"

"If I am not mistaken, all of that started when Luna died. At first Jun and I thought that he was only grieving, but then we realized that he started to forget about some memory and most of them are memories related to Xinghe."

"Xinghe…" Senja contemplated. She felt all about this started from there.

Xiao Tianyao lost memories were about Xinghe, Luna was found in Xinghe and Hu Feng was Xinghe refugee…

**Wait, could it be Lee also refugee from Xinghe?** Senja felt an urge to confirm about this. Since she was in Greenhill Mountain, she could ask the boy. But she still needed to ask Qianru, trying to get as much information as possible.

"Luna was killed by Misty Cloud Clan people right? Gong Xu. Xiao Tianyao mentioned his name as the murderer." Senja stared at Qianru who had sat beside her.

"That is what Xiao Tianyao remembered, but…"

"But, Gong Xu is Luna's brother, so it's quite strange if he killed her own sister." Senja finished her sentences.

Qianru nodded. "Jun thought that way…"

**This woman sure knew a lot of information, it seems Xiao Jun discussed with his wife about many things.**

"And, what is your thought?" Senja could sense that Qianru has different opinion from Xiao Jun about this matter.

"Both of them were from Misty Cloud Clan, they manipulated Tianyao with ill intention." Qianru shrugged and gave Senja a sheepish smile. "They both evil from the beginning, I think Gong Xu didn't care even if he had to kill his own sister."

Senja smiled back at her, Qianru felt embarrassed to have that thought. "Oh, that makes sense too." She commented.

"Well, that's only my careless opinion." Qianru twiddled with the edge of her sleeves. "If you wanted to know more details, you can ask Uncle Su about that."

"Uncle Su?" Senja surprised, she leaned her body closer. "He knew the detail?"

"Jun didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Uncle Su was there when Luna was killed."
